Kabore wins Burkina Faso presidential election

Kabore, who served as prime minister and head of the National Assembly under President Blaise Compaore, will become the country’s first new leader in decades.

Burkina faso has been ruled by leaders who came to power in coups for most of its history since independence from France in 1960. But the election of the former prime minister represents a pivotal moment for the West African nation.

While announcing the results, Barthelemy Kere, President of the Independent National Election Commission said:

The outright majority vote for Kabore effectively cancels out a possibility for a run-off. Interim president Michel Kafando will step down once the results are confirmed by the constitutional court and the new leader sworn in.
